\"Investigation<\/p>\n

House Oversight Committee James Comer, R-Ky., is pushing for President Joe Biden\u2019s records from his time as Vice President to probe allegations that he worked with his son to bring in $20 million from overseas entities.<\/p>\n

Comer sent a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration demanding unredacted records related to then-Vice President Biden\u2019s meetings and communications with his family members, the latest step in the ongoing investigation into allegations that the Biden family raked in millions using the White House.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe Biden has stated there was \u2018an absolute wall\u2019 between his family\u2019s foreign business schemes and his duties as Vice President, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family\u2019s influence peddling,\u201d the letter said.<\/p>\n

Notably, NARA is the same agency that reported former President Donald Trump to federal law enforcement for allegedly refusing to hand over classified documents. That report led to an indictment of the former president.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe already have evidence of then-Vice President Biden speaking, dining, and having coffee with his son\u2019s foreign business associates,\u201d the letter<\/strong><\/a> adds. \u201cWe also know that Hunter Biden and his associates were informed of then-Vice President Biden\u2019s official government duties in countries where they had a financial interest. The National Archives must provide these unredacted records to further our investigation into the Biden family\u2019s corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comer also asks for communications using the name \u201cRobert L. Peters,\u201d which Comer says was a pseudonym for Biden when he was Vice President.<\/p>\n

The Hunter Biden investigation<\/strong><\/a> turned the focus more onto the president when a long-time associate of Hunter Biden testified to the committee that the Vice President would often speak to his son on speaker phone when business associates were present.<\/p>\n

Biden has repeatedly dismissed questions about him benefiting from these alleged deals. Attorney General Merrick Garland recently appointed a Special Counsel for Hunter\u2019s tax and gun-related charges.<\/p>\n

While the Department of Justice has been slow or unwilling to release updates and documents on the case, the Oversight Committee has released a steady stream of documents drawing more fire to the president and raising questions about his level of involvement with his son.<\/p>\n

Those documents include witness testimony from a close associate of Hunter Biden, an FBI informant report, as well as bank records allegedly showing millions of dollars coming from entities in China, Kazakhstan, Romania, Russia and Ukraine and through about 20 shell companies to the Biden family and associates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Committee is concerned that foreign nationals have sought access and influence by engaging in lucrative business relationships with high-profile political figures\u2019 immediate family members, including members of the Biden family,\u201d the letter said.<\/p>\n
